In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xsk: fix OOB map writes when deleting elements

Jordy says:

" In the xsk_map_delete_elem function an unsigned integer (map->max_entries) is compared with a user-controlled signed integer (k). Due to implicit type conversion, a large unsigned value for map->max_entries can bypass the intended bounds check:

if (k >= map->max_entries)
    return -EINVAL;

This allows k to hold a negative value (between -2147483648 and -2), which is then used as an array index in m->xsk_map[k], which results in an out-of-bounds access.

spin_lock_bh(&m->lock);
map_entry = &m->xsk_map[k]; // Out-of-bounds map_entry
old_xs = unrcu_pointer(xchg(map_entry, NULL));  // Oob write
if (old_xs)
    xsk_map_sock_delete(old_xs, map_entry);
spin_unlock_bh(&m->lock);

The xchg operation can then be used to cause an out-of-bounds write. Moreover, the invalid map_entry passed to xsk_map_sock_delete can lead to further memory corruption. "

It indeed results in following splat:
